British PM Candidate's Insensitive Remarks Leaves One Woman Standing in Post-'Brexit' Race
The United Kingdom is still searching for a new prime minister after David Cameron announced his resignation after being on the losing side of "Brexit." Two women were the leading candidates to be his successor, but one has just disqualified herself for making insensitive comments about motherhood and politics.
